I invented it, as far as I know. There was no publicly available code on doing this and so I wrote it.

I’m not sure what the terminology is these days, but I called it userland exec() because it was an implementation of execve in userland…

I wrote it in, 2003 or 2004? I can’t find an original link anymore, but I posted it to bugtraq the week after I finished it.

This is the link I was thinking of: https://seclists.org/bugtraq/2004/Jan/2

By 2008, your original code didn't seem to work: https://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0803.3/1215....
